It's official. Former heavyweight title challenger Luan Krasniqi (29-2-1, 14 KOs) and Brian Minto (27-1, 16 KOs) will collide for the WBO Intercontinental belt on the big March 17 edition of the "Universum Champions Night" in Stuttgart. "Finally, a fight!," said Krasniqi, who last fought in April 2006. "It was the longest preparation I have ever had. Despite the delay and the injury I was always [preparing]. I feel fit. I'll give the answer to my fans and above all to Brian Minto on March 17." It is sure to be a highly charged fight, with Minto having derailed comebacking German icon Axel Schulz last November.

Also in action will be unbeaten heavyweight contender Alexander Dimitrenko (24-0, 14 KOs), who will face Danny Batchelder (25-3-1, 12 KOs). A third highlight will be the WBA world bantamweight championship clash between unbeaten champion "mini-powerstation" Wladimir Sidorenko (19-0-1, 6 KOs) and Ricardo Cordoba (29-1-1, 19 KOs). They battled to a draw in their first fight, but Sidorenko has vowed, "I will destroy him." Rounding out the lineup is the return of unbeaten heavyweight prospect Egon Roth (16-0, 12 KOs) who will face Mike Middleton (11-18-1, 5 KOs), Spotlight Boxing heavyweight Taras Bidenko (21-2, 12 KOs) against Fernely Feliz (23-7, 16 KOs) and unbeaten Spotlight super middleweight Karoly Balzsay (15-0, 11 KOs) vs TBA
